During a match between Serena Williams and Steffi Graf.To what extent can Steffi outperform Serena Williams?These are the methods 👇👇
Serena Williams is destined to surpass her 22 Grand Slam victories, according to Steffi Graf herself. The French Open will present Williams, 33, her next opportunity to go closer to Graf’s Open Era record. Williams has now won 19 majors. Some of Graf’s markings appear to be safe as can be, but only time will tell if her crystal ball is reliable and accurate. Here is a head-to-head matchup between two of the best tennis players in history.
Tennis is the world’s 7th hardest sport to play, according to an ESPN survey. The tournament rules make it hard for the professionals to earn titles, let alone a Grand Slam. One loss and the player is out of the tournament, no second chances. WTA alone has more than 1,000 professionals who compete to win at least one major in their lifetime. But three legendary women achieved twenty-plus majors. While Margaret Court is indisputably the best of her time, the G.O.A.T. debate is still open between Serena Williams and Steffi Graf, the only women with 20-plus major titles in the Open Era.
Serena and Graf were introduced to the sport by their fathers. Richard coached the American to become a professional at 14, while Peter coached the German to become a professional at just 13. The rest is history; October 1, 1999, has a ‘Golden’ importance in the world of tennis. The year also served as the perfect epitome for the famous saying ‘the end is the beginning’.
